The Age of Lords Reborn

Chapter 182 Dozens of small holes (second update, please subscribe)

Going upstairs from the side of the hall, you can clearly see the street at the back of the restaurant. After a while, you step into a bedroom on the third floor. As soon as Mo Xiaobai entered, he knew that there would be nothing to discover here.

Because the whole room has been cleaned again, Mo Xiaobai asked himself if he was not the Wannian primary school student who witnessed the death of one person in one episode. He couldn't find any clues in the room where there were no obvious traces in front of him.

Since he couldn't find it, Mo Xiaobai didn't bother, just sat down on the bed and asked, "The county magistrate often comes to drink alone?"

"No, the county magistrate seldom comes. Every time he comes, he is with his brothers, and he never enters through the front door."

"brother?"

Mo Xiaobai raised his eyebrows and looked at the young lady who was speaking, and squinted his eyes and said, "Tell me everything you know, from the moment the county magistrate stepped into your place, until you saw him for the last time, tell me everything in between." .”

"Yes, my lord."

Following Miss Miaoling's eloquence, Mo Xiaobai got another piece of information.

In fact, the county magistrate doesn't come often. The one who does come is the county magistrate's cousin Zhou Ding, who is also a well-known wealthy tyrant in the county.Every time the two brothers had a discussion, they would always choose this restaurant, neither at the county government office nor at Zhou's house.

And two days ago, the two brothers came together again and had some disputes.

After drinking a lot of wine, Zhou Ding was carried back by his servants because he was drunk, but the county magistrate did not leave, but added some more food. After driving away the young lady who served him, he ate and ate. It was...killed.

During the period, there was no struggle, no screams, just come and go in a low-key way.

In this 'restaurant', the only person who has met the county magistrate several times is the young lady who speaks.But Mo Xiaobai couldn't tell that she had the power to kill, even though she had a pair of slender and slender arms.

And the other person involved, Zhou Ding, the county magistrate's cousin, left before the county magistrate died, and he didn't have the chance to kill anyone.

This matter is very strange!

Although the murder in a secret room is not as surprising as it is, there is not even a shred of evidence pointing to the murderer. Undocumented murder is also a problem in another realm of the detective world.

Coming out of the restaurant, Guo Jia also lowered his head in thought, but after much deliberation, he still had no idea, so he could only ask, "Master, do you want to go to the Zhou Mansion?"

"What's the use of going to Zhou's mansion? We have no evidence to point the finger at Zhou Ding, he can use drunkenness to cover up everything." Mo Xiaobai shook his head, got on his horse and said, "Let's go, let's go back to the county government first."

When Mo Xiaobai and others returned to the county office, there was no one else in the main hall except Dong Zhen.

"What clues can my lord ask?"

"I didn't ask anything useful, so I made a trip for nothing."

Mo Xiaobai patted his butt, then beckoned a government official to come in: "Let me ask you, after the county magistrate's body was found that day, was there an autopsy done by someone?"

"Report to my lord, yes."

"Then what's the matter? Go and find him for me."

With his mind full of thinking about similar case-handling routines, Mo Xiaobai is now completely following the gourd.

The yamen official was ordered to leave, and a thin old man was found after a while.

Glancing at the skinny old man, Mo Xiaobai said intently: "You are the magistrate of this county? How many years have you been doing this?"

"Reporting to my lord, the little old man's family has eaten this bowl of rice for generations, and he has watched the corpse grow up since he was a child. If you really count, the little old man has passed his destiny this year, maybe 50 years."

Wuzuo family?

Mo Xiaobai frowned, and continued to ask: "How did you determine that Magistrate Zhou died of an ugly death? What evidence do you have?"

"Hey, there are countless autopsies on this old man, are you still afraid that I may be mistaken?"

The little old man seemed a little dissatisfied, and his tone became blunt: "The corpse of the county magistrate, I have seen it carefully, and I don't know which enemy to offend, and the attack is extremely cruel. It's not that the little old man has never seen a tragedy, but like the county magistrate Usually, dozens of small holes were pierced on the face and belly, and the intestines stained with sawdust flowed out, which was the first time in decades."

The little old man made gestures while talking, and Mo Xiaobai was already disgusted just by listening to him.Dong Zhen, who was sitting next to her, frowned frequently, wanting to get up and leave several times.

"Okay, okay, you still talk about the certificate."

"The evidence is that I rushed to the autopsy early in the morning, but I saw rice grains in Zhou County Magistrate's stomach. From my experience, the rice grains should have been eaten around the time of Chou. There will be no rice grains."

Rice grains?

Does this mean the stomach is not fully digested?
Mo Xiaobai didn't know much about this, so he nodded ambiguously, and asked the little old man to step back.I know everything I need to know, and if I let him stand in front of me, if I don't keep it right, there will be some disgusting jokes.

"According to Wu Zuo, the county magistrate Zhou Yi should be fine when he was ugly."

When Wu Zuo left, Mo Xiaobai looked at Guo Jia and Li Guang, and murmured: "And the news I got from the restaurant, when the Zhou brothers separated, the watchman happened to pass by the restaurant, and many people heard that it was three Genggu, that is midnight. The brothers of the Zhou family ate before midnight, and then they drank a lot of wine, the county magistrate was a bit better at drinking, and after the cousin left, he asked someone to bring the food in again."

"Who could have done it? How did it escape so many eyes in the restaurant? Fly in from the window on the other side of the room on the third floor to kill and then fly out? Is it possible? This is not a martial arts movie!"

Putting away these unrealistic ideas in his mind, Mo Xiaobai scratched his head in distress.He really didn't have the talent to be a detective. At this moment, Mo Xiaobai really wanted to go back to the moment when he was summoned by Lingyan Pavilion, and replace Li Ji with Di Renjie!
With the famous legendary detective Di Ge Lao, this mission is probably much easier to do this time.

It's a pity that rebirth is already a jackpot, and you want to do it again?
Just dreaming!
Mo Xiaobai was helpless, and Guo Jia had no idea. Li Guang thought for a long time, and suddenly said something: "I have been thinking about it for a long time, and I don't know what kind of weapon the murderer used to stab the belly. Ten holes, this kind of weapon is probably not very common."

murder weapon?

Hearing what Li Guang said, the corners of Mo Xiaobai's mouth twitched slightly, and Guo Jia even shook his head with a smile.

Li Guang saw the strange expressions of the two, and immediately asked: "My lord, military advisor, what do you mean? Could it be that you already know what the murder weapon is?"

"Feng Xiao, you tell him."

"Yes, my lord."

Guo Jia nodded slightly, and then took off his hairpin: "Does the flying general know this?"

"of course I know."

"The lady in the restaurant said before that every hole is the size of a wooden chopstick, and just now Wu Zuo also said that the intestines are covered with sawdust. The murder weapon is already obvious. Even if it is not a wooden hairpin, it is a thin pointed wooden stick."
